Welcome

Stable Code is a small software consultancy set up by Chris Smith.
Chris's focus is writing well-tested software that does what the client wants and performs at lightning speed.

Technology

Aeron (Cluster & Archive)

Aeron is designed to be the highest throughput with the lowest and most predictable latency of any messaging system.

Developed by an ex-colleague Martin Thompson and Todd Montgomery, Aeron helped us achieve 80 µs end-to-end for 99.9% on our latest exchange, before we even started tuning it.

Built on top of Aeron, Artio is a high performance FIX engine, which we used on our latest exchange. Artio's threading model made it easy to integrate into the end to end test framework we developed on the project.

Testimonial

“I had the pleasure to work with Chris on an exchange project we delivered for one of our customers. Chris is a very solid and experienced back-end engineer who can own large chunks of functionality that he will design and deliver to the highest quality standards. He worked on significant parts of the project including: end to end testing framework (he designed and built the whole thing, to test the full exchange end to end), FIX connectivity, risk engine, matching engine, etc. On top of that Chris is a great team player, always happy to help or to bring someone up to speed. I would jump on any opportunity to work with Chris again.”
